Most annoying song in the world?

 

Komar & Melamid and David Soldier's list of undesirable elements included holiday music, bagpipes, pipe organ, a children's chorus and the concept of children in general (really?), Wal-Mart, cowboys, political jingoism, George Stephanopoulos, Coca Cola, bossanova synths, banjo ferocity, harp glissandos, oompah-ing tubas and much, much more. It's actually a fascinating listen, worthwhile for the opera rapping alone. (We didn't think that was possible either.)

The Records of the Parliaments of Scotland to 1707 (RPS) is a fully searchable database containing the proceedings of the Scottish parliament from the first surviving act of 1235 to the union of 1707.

Typing "Shetland" into the search engine gives 140 references, from 20 February 1472

Also the same day our sovereign lord, with the deliverance of his three estates, annexed and united the earldom of Orkney and the lordship of Shetland to the crown, not to be given away in the future to any person or persons except to one of the king's legitimate sons only.
